The non-refundable administrative fee is part of tuition. This fee
covers a portion of the many direct costs related to providing instruction and administrative
and academic support services. Off-campus students receive various forms of assistance,
such as library support, toll-free phone numbers, general guidance, network IDs
and passwords, and support in coordinating with other campus units. In addition,
wide ranges of academic services are provided to the faculty and staff who teach
our courses. Costs for supporting instruction and for developing and promoting new
courses are also partially derived from tuition and fees. However, the administrative
fee does not cover campus services such as insurance, transportation, etc.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
Degree students
Although universities are not required to provide financial aid to students in distance
education programs, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Office
of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) administers financial aid programs to eligible applicants.
Students registering in courses offered through the Online & Continuing Education
must be admitted to a degree program and be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) credit
hours during the fall and spring semesters and three (3) credit hours during the
summer semester.
University of Illinois financial aid may also cover semester based summer online
courses. Please contact the Office of Student Financial
Aid for more information. Some scholarships, benefits or waivers will pay
for these courses.

in a degree program at another University and are currently receiving financial
